MPhil and PhD in Computer Science and Engineering

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong is the first Computer Science department in Hong Kong. The University has been offering computer courses since 1968. In 1970, the Joint Universities Computer Centre (JUCC) was established and an ICL 1904A computer was installed in the University as a joint facility for the two local universities. In line with the increased demand for trained computer personnel, the Department of Computer Science was established in the Science Faculty in the academic year of 1973/74. A minor programme in Computer Science was then implemented and the response was enthusiastic. From 1971 to 1975 the Department also offered a one-year postgraduate diploma course in System Analysis.
